Purpose: Identifies requests the originate from a particular IP address.

An option is provided to indicate whether this condition will be met when a client's IP address "Matches" or "Does Not Match" the specified IP address(es).

Key information:

Make sure to use CIDR notation.
Specify multiple IP addresses and/or IP address blocks by delimiting each one with a single space.
- IPv4 Example: 1.2.3.4 10.20.30.40 matches any requests arriving from either 1.2.3.4 or 10.20.30.40.
- IPv6 Example: 1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8 10:20:30:40:50:60:70:80 matches any requests arriving from either 1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8 or 10:20:30:40:50:60:70:80.
The syntax for an IP address block is the base IP address followed by a forward slash and the prefix size.
- IPv4 Example: 5.5.5.64/26 matches any requests arriving from 5.5.5.64 through 5.5.5.127.
- IPv6 Example: 1:2:3:/48 matches any requests arriving from 1:2:3:0:0:0:0:0 through 1:2:3:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff.
